Chapter 106: Ambush

Su Xi suddenly opened her eyes and teleported toward a green-skinned melon the size of a fist.

"Found it!" She plucked the small melon and shouted to Fei Er Si Te, "I found the seed."

Fei Er Si Te ran over, "Open it and see."

The small melon broke open, revealing a bright green seed inside, while the bright red melon flesh emitted a sweet and alluring scent!

"Is this melon flesh edible?" Su Xi licked her lips, her vertical pupils looking at the melon pulp with a sparkle.

"It is edible." Fei Er Si Te was the first to taste a bit of the melon flesh.

Su Xi peered at him, "How does it taste?"

"Sweet! Very sweet!" Fei Er Si Te replied.

Su Xi also took a bite; the sweet juice was refreshing and soothing to the throat, "It is indeed delicious."

Fei Er Si Te: "Now that we have found the seed, the next step is to plant it."

"Where to?" Su Xi asked.

"We have to go to the Time Sea Boundary Line; there should be many gods waiting there."

"What are they waiting for?"

"Waiting for porters like us who have found a Universe Tree Seed to arrive."

"..." Su Xi narrowed her eyes, "Then it is necessary to tell them that getting something for nothing is immoral!"

"Indeed!"

Su Xi finished the melon, her belly full, and she stretched again, "Alright, are we going directly, or are we going with your older brothers and sisters?"

"We can just go ourselves; they should have arrived by now." Fei Er Si Te wagged his tail, "Get on my back, we are setting off now!"

The little calico cat jumped onto the little black dog's back, "Let's go—"

After running a few steps in the melon field, Fei Er Si Te suddenly leaped forward, and a massive space gate appeared.

Fei Er Si Te carried Su Xi into the space gate; the surroundings were a space of colorful glazed light rings, and as Fei Er Si Te ran, those rings flowed along with him, shimmering and brilliant, breathtakingly beautiful.

"What is this place?"

"The Universe Constant Void; don't get caught by those light rings, or the mark of your existence will be dissolved into this constant void along with you!"

"That's so dangerous!" Su Xi immediately pressed tightly against Fei Er Si Te's back, fearing she would be thrown off, "Then you'd better be careful."

"I travel this path often, no need to worry."

"You really have a death wish; you are not allowed to take this path in the future."

Fei Er Si Te looked back at Su Xi and saw that her pupils were dilated to their maximum, showing just how nervous she was.

Just as he was distracted looking back, a glazed-colored light ring looped toward him and Su Xi.

Su Xi was so scared that she dug a claw into his flesh, "Watch the road!"

Fei Er Si Te barely dodged the light ring.

Su Xi, meanwhile, was so frightened that her soul was about to leave her body.

Another space gate appeared ahead.

Fei Er Si Te stopped and said to Su Xi, "There might be gods in ambush, prepare for battle."

Su Xi nodded, "Mm!"

The little black dog carrying the little calico cat leaped out from the space gate, and a blade of light descended from the sky, hacking toward the two of them.

There was not a shred of pity shown for the fact that they were little cubs.

Su Xi's body began to stretch rapidly, transforming into human form.

Fei Er Si Te was the same; a massive energy light shield emerged around his body, protecting Su Xi.

A giant shadow shrouded in golden mist approached Fei Er Si Te and Su Xi; a silver dagger appeared in his hand, and he slashed it easily at the light shield!

The energy light shield shattered instantly like a bubble.

Su Xi gripped her Thunder Staff tightly and slashed with all her might at the misty shadow; rolling thunderous sounds combined with a pillar of lightning fell upon the misty shadow's body.

Yet, the opponent was completely unharmed, and not even a speck of the golden mist had dispersed, let alone revealing the opponent's true form.

Fei Er Si Te said to Su Xi, "I will handle this, you be careful yourself."

"Okay!" Su Xi immediately retreated to the side.

In this kind of god-level battle, she could just watch; it was not her turn to intervene...

Another phantom shadow secretly approached Su Xi.

Su Xi's attention was entirely on Fei Er Si Te, and she did not notice this phantom shadow.

【Host, behind you!】 Er Miao reminded Su Xi and automatically opened the System Map, marking the location of the phantom shadow.

When Su Xi saw that the phantom shadow was just three meters directly behind her, she broke out in a cold sweat and immediately swept her Thunder Staff across.

Seeing that they had been discovered, the phantom shadow automatically revealed their true appearance: a woman with blue skin, features so ugly they were beyond description, and long hair that could twist on its own like snakes.

Although her face was ugly, her figure was curvaceous, with long legs and a slim waist—a perfect silhouette!

"Am I beautiful?" the woman asked Su Xi.

Su Xi could not understand what the woman was saying and asked Er Miao, 【What kind of god is this? Can you translate her words?】

【I cannot. Her language is not within the range of the synchronized Universe Language.】

【Then we can only fight.】

【Host can seek support.】

Su Xi looked at Fei Er Si Te; he had already moved far away while fighting the misty shadow.

【Host can ask for help in the Heart of Hearts Gathering Group.】 Er Miao reminded Su Xi.

The woman asked Su Xi again.

Su Xi could not understand her and did not respond lightly; she began to accumulate a Thunder Ball in her hand, 【Let's fight first and see; if it doesn't work, then I'll ask for help.】

Flames began to cluster and emerge all around the woman, and beneath her bare feet, cracks split open with flowing magma that spread toward Su Xi.

Su Xi hurriedly dodged the magma.

Just then, another tall, towering shadow shrouded in mist charged toward the woman to kill her.

The woman let out a roar, and even the surrounding space was sliced apart by the sound, her divine might spreading wantonly.

Su Xi's face turned deathly pale, and she retreated in escape, unable to withstand it.

The woman seemed unwilling to let this little fledgling go, raising her hand to trap Su Xi in a cage of flames!

Yet, at the very moment the woman was distracted, a blunt blade appeared in the tall shadow's hand, with a notch on the tip of the edge.

With a slow, sluggish swing, the woman's body was turned into several pieces, then vanished!

After the woman's body disappeared, a God Card of the 6 of Clubs floated in the air, along with some scattered supplies, two seeds of the Universe Tree, and three Resurrection Cards.

The flame cage also vanished; Su Xi's face was deathly pale, and though she wanted to flee, she dared not move easily.

The tall shadow did not even look at her; after collecting only the God Card, the Resurrection Cards, and the seeds, he tore open a space gate and entered it to leave.

"..." Su Xi looked at the supplies floating in the air and cautiously approached them.

【Er Miao, scavenge!】

【Yes! Host, let's hurry and run; this place is too dangerous.】

【Where would we run to? As a Divine Weapon System, why don't you have even a shred of fighting spirit?】

【... Host, that god with the blade just now, why didn't he even glance at us?】

【Because I am not a god.】 True powerhouses disdain fighting the weak.

In the distance, a dazzling white light exploded!

【I wonder which god dropped a card again.】 Su Xi said to Er Miao.

Soon, Fei Er Si Te returned.

He held a God Card of the Queen of Hearts in his hand and handed it to Su Xi, "For you."

Su Xi took the God Card and hugged Fei Er Si Te, "Xiao Yan, you are truly amazing."

Fei Er Si Te's face turned completely red, "I'm still quite average."

Su Xi recounted the woman she had encountered earlier, as well as the god with the blunt blade, to Fei Er Si Te.

"I haven't seen that blue-skinned god either. But I know who the one with the blunt blade is. He is a Wandering God; everyone calls him the Blade Guest, and he is hired by other universes to fight."

"What is a Wandering God?"

"A god who has lost their own universe."

"Can gods lose their own universe?"

"Yes. Some small universes survive by attaching themselves to large universes. If a large universe faces a crisis, it will devour these small universes. The gods of the small universes then become Wandering Gods, fighting for the large universe, or accepting employment, or even fighting for other universes. Among gods, the Blade Guest's combat power is considered top-tier."

"Then how about when you fight him?"

"I can still manage to best him by a small margin."

"Xiao Yan is so great!" Su Xi hugged Fei Er Si Te again and even kissed him.

Fei Er Si Te suddenly remembered what Qing Kong had said—smash the enemy to smithereens at the first opportunity to display one's powerful and shocking charm in front of one's partner.

Space fluctuated, and a space gate appeared.

Fei Er Si Te immediately entered a combat state.

Su Xi also stared vigilantly at that gate. When they had come out of a space gate before, they had been ambushed; now, they were the ones acting as the ambushers.

A small, snow-white, chubby Heavenly Fox jumped out from the gate.

Fei Er Si Te hurriedly withdrew his hand.

But the lightning ball that Su Xi had been charging for a long time in her hand struck directly at the small Heavenly Fox.

Qing Kong opened his mouth and ate the lightning ball, "Just the two of you, and you dare to play this."

"Who are you looking down on." Behind Qing Kong appeared another slender and noble small Heavenly Fox, who flicked her tail and swatted Qing Kong into the sky...

Xiao Shi Wu said to Su Xi: "It's quite good; big sister will accompany you to fight."

Su Xi suddenly felt a sense of being flattered, and before she could say anything, she saw Xiao Shi Wu transform into a brilliant, stunning, and alluring great goddess!

Beneath Qing Yu Su Ying's thick, curled eyelashes, her golden divine eyes could bewitch the soul with a slight lift.

"My god! Is there really someone this beautiful?" Su Xi had always felt she looked decent, but now she felt she was just not ugly and passable—truly plain.

Qing Kong returned, having transformed into an extremely handsome, white-haired hunk.

Su Xi was hit by the beauty blast once again!

Fei Er Si Te covered Su Xi's eyes, "Qing Kong has countless girlfriends; he is the number one scumbag Heavenly Fox in the universe!"

"What nonsense are you spouting." Qing Kong raised his long leg, intending to kick Fei Er Si Te.

Qing Yu Su Ying glanced at him indifferently.

Qing Kong immediately withdrew his leg obediently, "Sister, he is slandering me."

"Is that so? Bai Huang has already come to me about it." Qing Yu Su Ying hummed lightly.

"That Bai Huang is because... forget it, I'd better go plant trees first; you guys go play your games." Qing Kong opened a space gate and was about to leave.

Su Xi pulled away Fei Er Si Te's hand, "I'm just appreciating beauty, not lecherous; no need to cover my eyes."

Saying this, she looked toward Qing Yu Su Ying again, "Big sister is truly beautiful!"

"There are far too many beautiful big sisters." Qing Yu Su Ying gently tapped the tip of Su Xi's nose, "Look however you like."
